Shh! Don't Tell Anyone...

We began our trial runs of the new kitchen this week, with Mary making the first cheeseburgers on the "new" old grill. Clayton and Mike have been getting spoiled, trying out the menu.

We're going to keep it simple to start with, to make sure we have all the bugs worked out (figuratively speaking, of course!). Mary working out the rust (again, figuratively), having not run this kitchen for a few years, and Mel is remembering how to waitress after coming out of retirement after 15 years.

We've got a simple breakfast menu to start with, same with lunch. Bear with us while we develop both over the next few weeks. Come on in and try us out!

About Us

Mike and Melinda purchased the Emmaville Store in November 2010 and reopened for business in January 2011. The store has been in existence over 70 years and is the last remnant of the town of Emmaville, which dates back to the logging days (1900-1910) in northern Minnesota.
This blog is a collection of stories about our efforts to get the store reopened and get to know the folks in the surrounding area. Ultimately, the blog is about creating and sustaining community.
